What are some of the potential drawbacks of eating old celery?

 

  Mind you, it’s neither wilted nor rotten, it’s just been in the refrigerator for a while and isn’t as daisy-fresh as it could be. I don’t like throwing away food, I consider that to be akin to sinning, and the fiber celery provides surely can’t be greatly reduced by it just being a bit old.

    Eating old celery has been known to cause slight dementia in mayonnaise-deficient patients.

      Who are you again? I don’t recognize you, I don’t think I know you at all. What’s my name, why am I here, what are all those Grammar Police commendation awards doing on my walls, and why do they have Randall D Randall listed as the recipient? Where’s my oatmeal? I’m so confused. 

      You should be leaving me alone; your cats are trying to talk to you and you’re just ignoring them. Grrrrrrrr.

    If it's more than a week old, it's definitely wilted - perhaps not visibly but it will have lost some of its crunch. And the B group and C vitamins start to degrade from the moment it's culled, but the vitamin K and A should not be affected.
    Probably safe to eat unless it's bendy, discoloured or the centres are starting to become hollow.

    I got this from tastingtable.com, we don't have celery in the house - my wife has a thyroid condition and celery is contraindicated for her, I'm not a fan of it either so we don't buy it.

    What Slarti posted sounds correct me. 

    No medical issues but we do not buy it either.

    Go ahead and eat it. Or drink it, if it's deteriorated to the point where it's liquid. It won't hurt you.  (Snicker).

      Gee, thanks! Hey, wait a second here . . .


      Sometimes, not always, just sometimes, I get the impression that you don’t really want the best for me. Grrrrrrr.
